We just took delivery of 16 system from Aspen Systems to complement
an earlier set of 16 systems. These are all EB164's (300Mhz EV5).

Both systems have DE500 fast ethernet cards installed - however, the
latest systems don't work under DU4.0.

The latest systems have DE500's with firmware revision 2.0, while the
earlier has revision 1.1 and/or rev. 1.2.

When we put a rev 1.2 card into the new machines, they work
fine. Ergo, there's a driver incompatability with the Rev 2.0 cards
and DU 4.0. The only question is "what's the fix"?
